Today was supposed to be my W6R3 but I have a cold and cough with a wheezing chest (I’m asmatic in any case) - so I feel it best not to go for a run and nail my first 25 minuter. I am so disappointed and very worried that all the hard earned fitness of the last 6 weeks will evaporate. Oh misery misery.
Bummer - I have a cold: Today was supposed to be... - Couch to 5K
Bummer - I have a cold

Taking it easy when you’re poorly is the right thing to do. Hope you feel better soon.

Get well soon. You won’t lose fitness if the first two weeks of not running, so you should be just fine.

I promise it won’t. I have only managed to run three times this month due to poorly kids. 30 mins then a 25 followed by running 5k in under 38 mins. A few days won’t hurt. It was a week between two of my runs and I felt I could have run longer but didn’t want to set myself back.
Hope you feel better soon and can get back out there x
